      Will Beck recently been remembering all this. I’m from England and I was 19 when it happened. I remember the picture of Dylan on the front of the Newspaper, I remember thinking ‘Jesus Christ what’s happened to this place’. It reminded me of Dunblane. I actually had a job to do in Dunblane a few years ago(I’m an electrician) and I saw the school building, and it gave me chills. It’s always sickening when the school shootings happen, my little boy is ten, thankfully security is a lot tighter nowadays regarding visitors to schools. But how it happened to you guys, you had no chance. I totally disagreed with the fact the cops didn’t enter the building though, that was a bad move. Thank god you survived to tell the tale, and god bless you for sharing it with us. I always spare a thought for the columbine victims, it seems like yesterday. Look after yourself 👍

      yup probably multiple people still because they started outside shooting kids that were just walking by, i don’t understand the logic that to stop people killing with guns, we need more guns but i’m guessing you’re American? so that makes sense that you think to stop shootings people just need more guns. my point was that if no one had a gun that day, no one would have been shot or dead which is the truth.

  • @MrPaulOnion
    @MrPaulOnion 5 ปีที่แล้ว +495

    This guys voice is so soothing even though he's talking about such a terrible occurrence. I just want to listen to him tell stories all day. I really like the mindset he's come out with as well. I live with depression and there are times where if I try to make myself happy, I only feel worse, so I switched to trying to make other people happy. Their reactions give me real happiness that I can't achieve myself.

      When I was in middle school years ago, there was a kid that shot another kid in the back of the head about 20 feet away from me in the hallway. It was during a break so there were a ton of people talking the halls. It sounded like a balloon popping, so everyone was just kind of confused at first, but seconds later everyone started running into classrooms. I stood there for a minute like an idiot still wondering what was happening. The guy with the gun locked eyes with me for second, and that's when I knew what happened so I ran as fast I could away into a classroom. Very scary situation.

    I read the two books about Rachel Scott, the first victim to be killed during the shooting, one of which included her journal. She was such a beautiful soul inside and out who seemed to have a better grasp on what matters in life than most adults do. Her selflessness and joy for life has truly inspired me to live a better life and follow my life passions and life purpose of facilitating out the best in others and helping them not only get off of drugs but to go on a live amazing lives of purpose, a purpose that is greater than themselves, in service to humanity.
    My heart goes out to all of the victims, their families, and those who were at the school that day 🙏❤️😔
